I used to be a bigger fan of baseball than football until all the steroid stuff came out and I lost interest. It ruined my childhood memories. Especially meeting Mark McGwire, my favorite player when I was 7.

this is an even bigger scandal than that. I don’t think people at the top of mlb even know what to do.

The WFNZ MAC Attack show interviewed Jack McDowell who is now accusing Tony La Russa of sign stealing while coaching for the white Sox back in the late 70’s until the 80’s. Jack stated that La Russa installed cameras just to steal signs. MLB pretty much has two black eyes at this point, it is becoming a movement. I suspect other people and clubs will come forward soon, stay tuned...

I think the truth, for better or worse, is that virtually all - if not all - organizations and players in the sporting world will do whatever they can to win, both within and outside the boundaries of "fair play". I know it's nice to believe in the integrity of competition, but the only truth to competition, especially at its highest levels, is the idea of "win at all costs".

Cheating and bending the rules to gain advantage has always been pervasive.

    • https://www.yahoo.com/sports/article/versatile-2nd-db-named-panthers-154026075.html Smith-Wade's ability to play corner, nickel and safety makes him valuable to a young defense trying to rebuild after finishing last in the NFL a year ago. "Chau took advantage of an opportunity,'' coach Dave Canales said. "He made tackles. He had an opportunity on an interception, and he made it.'' Our defense has got to come alive for us to have a chance of winning our Division!
    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.
